It's time (Option to Hide other players Glamour)

[Cithaerias_pyropina]

You can mute it.

You failed to read the rest of that post didn't you.

The toggle option should just be putting a blindfold on your character to completely blacken your screen, now the OP won't be able to see anyone's glamour and it would work in the same vein as putting earplugs in for muting Bard performance.

There, I made it easy for you.

Because having those pixels on my screen look different than you intended is a complete violation of your rights. *rolls eyes*

Fantastic cherry picking here without reading anything else on what I've been saying.

If I'm thinking of the same account, then it is 100% false that the twitter account encourages people to be unpleasant on the forums. The tweets do not say the posts or threads they're from, nor do they say anything other than actual quotes. In other words they're not endorsing anything.

If a person wants to figure out where a quote comes from they would have to comb the forums to find it. If someone feels strongly enough about something to do that, that's their personal choice.

You're likely thinking of the same account, unless there's multiple. It isn't false, either - I've had death threats posted in response to voicing my dislike of Alisae after that blog decided, quite bizarrely, that expressing a distaste of a particular character is worthy of being quoted there.

Whoever happens to run that blog knows exactly what they're doing, they simply hide behind Twitter's lack of desire to moderate such things appropriately. In the present day I don't feel it is unfair to point out how Twitter also boasts a lot of very unhinged individuals who make it a point to track down people for 'wrong think' and seek to inflict harm and abuse upon them.

Luckily Square Enix take such threats seriously, so even if Twitter refuses to step in the GM's have helpfully dealt with the unhinged individuals who sought me out in-game to threaten me.

I keep an eye on the blog these days to help warn others of the dangers should they be quoted themselves, which is why I brought it up here.

I did read through your post, but I took the entire second part of the post as sarcastic and absent-mindedly focused on the first bit. "...and it would work in the same vein as putting earplugs in for muting Bard performance" did not exactly state to me that you were aware of the performance mute at first glance after the blindfold bit. Sorry for that.

@OP, This negates the whole point of Glamour. God forbid we could hide all "attire" like that in real life... We'd walk around seeing everyone in their birthday suits...

Well what I am following is not a blog, it's literally just a twitter account. We may be talking about two different accounts.

There isn't even a link to additional sites or social media platforms they use. Literally just a link to the forums, likely to provide context as to where all the content comes from. It even says to not go after the posters.

The responses to the posts are also generally quite tame. Usually just joking about them, agreeing with them or memes. I have't spotted anyone being particularly nasty so far. Sometimes a handful get too ragey but that happens in these forums too. That happens everywhere. I actually like that account because the crowd it attracts seem mostly chilled out.

And if we are talking about the same account, then I respectfully disagree that they're endorsing any kind of abuse. They only repeat what someone else said, and they keep the source anonymous. Sometimes people figure out on their own where the quote comes from, sometimes everyone is completely puzzled. If someone hates a tweet enough that they want to send death threats, that's the person making the decision to do so. Not the account encouraging it.

I wouldn't touch that account with a ten foot pole if I saw they actively encouraged any kind of abuse.

No, I read it all. I just didn't feel like telling you that you're wrong on every little thing. :/

Im gonna agree for the same reason Theodric mentioned, the first time i did the ShB final MSQ trial the tank was wearing the 'Pepega' outfit and i just felt weird seeing him in a cutscene in the conclusion of 5.0s story.
Dungeons as well etc, just no man.

Does not hurt anyone anyway having that option

Then why didn't you just run them with trusts if it bothers you that badly? Don't have to worry about kero outfits on tanks ruining your "immersion" in the dungeons, if Thancred has to set an example for Minifilia and wear his default stuff.

Why do people care about this so much, it's an MMO with multiple people playing in different outfits because they have different tastes. If you don't want that, I think you may be possibly playing the wrong genre of RPGs? It's honestly just like playing an offline JRPG when people change the player characters outfits in their playthroughs. Don't like it? Then don't pay attention to it, simple as that. You never see other player characters in cutscenes for story like in 2.0, you only now see them in dungeon entering and victory cutscenes.

Also to implement an option like that would cause much unneeded stress for the server to load different different outfits from the glamours they have on, it's not as simple as "well they can do it lolz". This is also especially hefty to handle for cutscene processing when entering dungeons, increasing the load times for entering them, and open world. If you people want 0 dungeons per patch and late patches in general for that to happen, then please, go ask. However, don't complain when we get less content for a QoL change that may help like 2% of community that actually care about this.

If you don't want other people to ruin your immersion, go play a single player game or find people to do "Lore-friendly" runs. I can understand wanting to be able to hide glamours if they effected load time like on a poorly optimized game like Vindictus where it takes a minute to load the armor/costumes of everyone in the zone on a good computer, but on this game, doesn't seem necessary.

I mean, I'm a gay male who dislikes seeing scantily clad Viera everytime I'm in Limsa but I don't complain and ask for an option to hide all female characters or put some kind of garb over them meant to hide their curvature. I just ignore them because I know that while it's not something I like myself, I'm not the only person in the world and that it's stupid to think my annoyance should invalidate the other person's right to wear what they want and present themselves however they want to everyone.

This option would stop NOBODY from expressing themselves how they want. It would only affect those who didn't wish to experience such expression. There is a big difference between "I don't want to see that" and "you can't wear that because I don't want to see it".
